newlib-1.17.0 was release almost a year ago (2008-12-22). As usually, the Changelog is pretty long. For the moment, I have only used it for arm-elf. In order to build it, I added this upstream patch : http://sourceware.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/src/libgloss/arm/linux-syscalls0.S.diff?r1=1.5&r2=1.6&cvsroot=src I also substitute threads with newlib-multithread since the first doesn't seems to exist anymore.
